How much will ThermiSmooth improve my eye bags? (Photo)

M
miaeduJun 29, 2018

I am a 22 year old who had eye bags since I was a toddler. I am completely uncomfortable looking like this at such a young age and desperately want to end this long term battle of having large eye bags. I cannot currently afford to undergo blepharoplasty and I already tried fillers to no avail. I have been encouraged to Try ThermiSmooth but I only want to spend my money on this if I will see drastic results. I need help! (I blurred out my eyes with green to remain anonymous!)

Thank you for your question. Thermismooth uses radio frequency which is a wonderful treatment for stimulating collagen in your skin. When using it around the eyes, a smaller electrode is used which does not penetrate deep enough to effect fat cells, so I do not understand how this could have...

Yes, you can use thermismooth if you have had dental implants in the past.  Dental implants are titanium rods that are inert.  Thermi works by using RF energy that penetrates the skin and not deep to the oral cavity

These days I believe treatments should not cause a lot of pain. Unfortunately Thermage is an older more painful procedure. Radiofrequency treatments these days shouldn't hurt. I use Thermismooth 250 for face and body for wrinkles. lax skin, and cellulite. Usually 4 treatments are necessary with...

Fraxel is great for under the eyes, but keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest ...
